After searing the steaks, Sean served them on intricate tes ced on a hardwood table while forks
and knives wereid out next to the tes.
Sean had just picked up his cutlery when he was suddenly struck by a thought. He looked up at the
children and asked, “Do you need me to cut them up?”
“Thanks, but it’s fine, Sir.””
Belle picked up her cutlery and started cutting. While it took a lot of effort to cut into her steak, she did
notin at all. Jon did not look as awkward as Belle as he cut into his steak, but he was not that
sessful
either.
Sean was impressed by their behavior. They were willing to do everything themselves and would rather
not trouble others when the task was possible for them. ire had evidently taught them well.
After they were done with their steaks, Sean watched over the children as they brushed their teeth. As
he watched the toothpaste bubble around their mouths, he thought of ire.
ire had yet to lose her naiveté. Was she expecting to remain as the
children’s friends forever?
When Jon looked up after he had finished brushing his teeth, he noticed Sean nkly staring at Belle
and him. He crossed his arms before his chest and confidently asked, “Are you thinking of Mommy,
Sir?”
Sean instantly snapped back to his senses. For a moment, he felt too afraid to even look lon in the eve

confidently asked, “Are you thinking of Mommy, Sir?”
Sean instantly snapped back to his senses. For a moment, he felt too afraid to even look Jon in the
eye. “Not at all. If you’re done, let’s go to
sleep.”
Jon pouted and followed Sean with Belle beside him.
Fortunately, Sean had Victor prepare a guest bedroom that was upied by a king–sized bed. There
was enough bed space for the two children.
After tucking them in, Sean patiently asked, “Do you need me to tell you a bedtime story?”
Jon poked his head out of the nket with his nose wrinkled in disgust. “We’re not babies. Why would
we need bedtime stories?”
Sean silently stared.
Well, perhaps he was offering too much.
Still, what was the deal with Jon? Why did this tiny child seem to know
everything?
He also held himself in a way that made him seem as confident and powerful as
Sean.
Sean preferred Belle. She was so cute and soft. Girls really were better children than boys!
Without saying another word, he loudly turned off the lights before gently closing the door. He refused
to hold a grudge against a child.

During summer, the sun rose bright and early.
ire woke up with the first ray of sunshine streaming into her room as her
mind was preupied with thoughts of her children.
Her mood was always good when her children were by her side.
Shezily stretched and turned around. As she opened her eyes, she happily
said, “Good morning, Belle, Jon.”
Oh, no!
Where were her children?
She shot out of the bed and through the bedroom door as if she had been struck by lightning. She did
not even stop to put on her slippers.
“Jon! Belle!”
They were not on the couch or anywhere else in the living room. They were no
in the kitchen or the bathroom. She even ran over to Julia’s room and barged into it without knocking.
Julia had been sprawled out on her bed. When ire ran in, she was jolted away and immediately sat
up. “What are you doing, ire?”
ire’s face was filled with anxiety. Tears shimmered in her brown eyes. “Julia, Belle and Jon are
missing.”
“Missing?” Julia ran her hands through her messy hair and as she got out of bed, she asked. “Have you
looked in the bathroom or the kitchen?”

“I have. They’re not there!”
Julia was stunned. She knew that this was major. Where else could the children have gone outside the
apartment?
It was their first time back in the country. They were not familiar with the culture here, and they were
around three years old. If left out in the world,
they werembs waiting to be sacrificed. Julia started panicking as well.
“Don’t panic, ire. I’ll look for them too.”
Without stopping tob their hair or wash their faces, they got into the
elevator in their nightgowns and slippers. In fact, if Julia had not forcefully shoved a pair of slippers into
ire’s arms, ire would be walking around on bare feet.
Everyone said women had it hard, but single mothers had it the hardest.
ire had lived with Julia ever since her escape. Julia had rented an apartment near the university she
was studying in back then. She watched as ire went through morning sickness that was so bad it
sounded like ire would die vomiting.
She had tried to convince ire to abort. After all, children born without a
father always had the worst to deal with in life.
ire had wiped her mouth with a tissue and happily smiled through the nausea building up in her. “I
have no more family left in this world. The baby is my only family. How can I bear to steal his life away
before he had the chance to see this beautiful world?”

They had thought the hardest part of raising the children was when the babies were still breastfeeding.
They had not imagined the time when the children learned to walk was the most tiring stage.

Fortunately, the two children were very smart and cute. At the age of three, they could take care of
themselves already. Of course, they still entrusted them to Joseph when ire left.
Thus, Julia perfectly understood ire’s feelings.
“ire, I’ll search around the area while you ask management for the surveince records. This entire
building has been bought over by Sean, so everyone here should be on our side.”
ire did not have time to think about if Sean was actually on her team as
the elevator doors had opened. They immediately dashed out.
“Excuse me, my children are missing. Can we have a look atst night’s
surveince records?”
The security guard on duty was a man who was part of the team Victor had briefed about ire. In
fact, Victor had shown a photo of ire to everyone working in the building so that they could help her
at all times.
As soon as the man heard that, he shot to his feet. “Very well. Come with
me.”
With a target in mind, the man was able to immediately pull up the
surveince records from the cameras outside ire’s apartment. At around 11 20 p.m., her apartment
door swung open to reveal two children walking out to
the corridor

20 p.m., her apartment door swung open to reveal two children walking out to the corridor.
Anxiety rose in ire. “There they are!”
The man heaved a sigh of relief and watched the video with ire by his side.
The two children knocked on the doors of two other units on the same floor. When no one answered
the door, they headed to the final door that swung open to reveal Sean’s face.
They were at Sean’s unit.
ire’s joy barelysted more than a few seconds before a cold chill spread across her body.
Shoot. Sean did not like children. Would he abuse Belle and Jon?
ire did not dare dally. After thanking the security guard, she called
Julia before heading back upstairs.
As she stood before Sean’s door, she took a deep breath to make herself look calm before ringing the
doorbell.
In just ten seconds, the door was opened to reveal ire standing there in a set of pajamas covered in
cartoon drawings with her feet covered by a pair of slippers dotted with cartoon pictures. When he
spotted the messy–haired woman standing outside, he smiled.
How could she look so cute at all times despite the situation?
